MAIN CHARACTERS: Daniel Jackson, The Librarian (Discworld), assorted Wizards (Discworld)

FIC SUMMARY: For long moments, man and ape stared at one another. Finally, Daniel said, "If you're a Furling, Jack is never going to let me live this down."
"Ook," the creature replied sympathetically.

Daniel takes a wrong turn in an off-world library and strays through L-Space to Unseen University.

RECCER'S NOTES: This was just delightful, it had me smiling so much. Love Daniel's view on the wizards, and of course the Librarian is awesome as always.
This is like a light-hearted pick-me-up.

FIC SUMMARY: Historians use primary sources to better understand the past. For a 22nd century historian, what better primary sources could there be than the recently published letters and journals of Dr. Daniel Jackson?

RECCER'S NOTES: I really love the outsider pov in this, how much got lost in the time that has passed. Love the interpretation of what happened, and the contrast of what really happened.

FIC SUMMARY: Sam thought Sha're, at least, must speak some English.

RECCER'S NOTES:

I love the description of Sam and her thoughts, and I love the interaction between her and Sha're. I would have loved to see something like this on the show. While being a reaction to the lack of women and interaction between them (on the show), this story is wonderful in its own right. It articulates some things that have been consciously and sub-consciously bothering me and I love it.

FIC SUMMARY: The Goa'uld have always prized style over substance, but Teal'c finds beauty elsewhere. (Or "Why most Jaffa suffer from the Stormtrooper Effect, and why Bra'tac is awesome.")

RECCER'S NOTES:

This is really a fantastic look on early Teal'c. I love this thoughts and internal dialog. I like his interaction with the rest of the team, how they are still trying to fit together.

FIC SUMMARY: Six months after aliens take over Earth, John and Rodney show up on Cam's doorstep with a plan to get rid of the invaders.

RECCER'S NOTES:

This is a very chilling story about an alien invasion. This is also a very chilling story about human nature, about making the difficult decisions and about living with them.

The story had me hooked 'till the very end and even after I've finished I couldn't stop thinking about it.

FIC SUMMARY: I got to thinking about how lucky SG-1 was that they never had anything that transformed them permanently, and how there must be a few SGC personnel who weren't so lucky. Thus this was born.

RECCER'S NOTES:

This is such an intriguing view into the SGC and its people. I love those snippets that are so rich and curious.
I really like how humour and seriousness intertwine.

RECCER'S NOTES: I loved the friendship between Daniel and Jack here, and how Jack gets to know Daniel. I think it's a pretty accurate view on early season Jack and Daniel.
This story made me think about how it must have been for Jack with a civilian on the team. Most of the time I looked at it from Daniel's side, especially since I'm a civilian myself and can identify with him.

FIC LINK: Prodigal by Domenika Marzione
AUTHOR LINK: AO3, website
RATING/WARNING(S): Not rated. There's violence, but I'd call it canon-typical for both shows.
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete. 44,763 words.
MAIN CHARACTERS: Colonel Mann, Evan Lorne, most of the cast of NCIS and a good chunk of the Stagate cast

FIC SUMMARY: Hollis Mann comes to NCIS for help with a case that quickly spirals from well-planned break-in to serial murder. When their chief suspect ends up being an Air Force officer with a shady job history, Hollis and Team Gibbs have their hands full trying to figure out what's happening before the body count gets any higher.

RECCER'S NOTES:

The other day, I opened up Prodigal by Domenika Marzione. I saved it to my Nook months ago, on the theory that it was almost certain to be good, and because I knew that I would eventually get around to wanting to read Stargate again. And, yes, it was as good as I was anticipating.

It's a NCUS/Stargate crossover, told entirely from the POV of Colonel Mann, which means that it's basically a double whammy of outsider POV, although obviously Mann is much less of an outsider when it comes to the NCIS team than the Stargate team. I love outsider POV. There are great observations about the Stargate characters, made all the more interesting for the way that they come in only quick glimpses, and through the eyes of someone who doesn't know the history of these people.

The great thing about this story is the way that she captures the world that the characters live in. The military lingo, the rivalries between the Marines and the Army and the Air Force. The story feels very grounded in reality for all that it's got space aliens and science fiction weapons. The author is also amazing at world building, and has a host of original characters that really flesh out the universe.

A note, I've watched more than a few episodes of NCIS, have a working knowledge of Atlantis, and have seen every single episode of SG1 at least once. I suspect that this story will work for someone that doesn't know NCIS at all, but if you don't have at least a sketchy knowledge of the Stargate universe, you will probably be pretty lost.
